Golden Hills turquoise rings offer a softer, more luminous take on the stone, set with a pale powder-blue turquoise accented by a delicate purple-tinged matrix. Though it is mined in Kazakhstan rather than the American Southwest, Golden Hills has been embraced by Southwestern silversmiths for a coloration unlike most American material — quiet, even, and almost lit from within. Our collection sets it into hand-fabricated sterling silver, in rings that let the gentle blue and fine lavender web read as refined and modern. The rings are finished by hand, with a hand-built bezel and the stone-to-stone variation that makes each ring its own. Golden Hills turquoise rings appeal to collectors seeking a lighter palette than classic blue or green stone — a contemporary choice rooted in the long tradition of artists selecting turquoise wherever it is found.

Genuine turquoise shows natural, irregular matrix (the host-rock webbing) and varies from stone to stone, and it feels cool and stone-like. Perfectly uniform color, a too-regular web, or a warm, plastic feel can indicate dyed howlite, reconstituted block, or imitation. The safest assurance is a seller who states each stone's origin and treatment in writing. See our Turquoise Buyer's Guide (/guides/turquoise-buyers-guide).
Natural turquoise is cut and polished with nothing added; stabilized turquoise is genuine turquoise infused with clear resin to harden naturally soft, porous stone so it can be worn. Both are real turquoise. Natural is rarer and more valuable; stabilized is more durable and affordable. Reputable sellers always disclose which one you are buying -- more in our guide (/guides/stabilized-vs-natural-turquoise).
